ATTACI-IING HUBS TO AXLES.

Specification of Letters Patent No. 10,552, dated February 21, 1854.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, ELNA'lI-IAN SAMPsoN,

of Claremont, in the county of Sullivan and- State of New Hampshire, have invented a new and Improved Mode of Attaching Hubs to Axles; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full and exact description which ledge, embraces a tube F, and con-s fines it to the hub by means of an outwardly projecting flanch a, on the end of the said tube, which'passes between the said ledge E, and the inner end of the hub, as shown in Fig. 1. I place upon the axle, a tube G, which has-an outwardly projecting flanch c,

and then place the hub upon its journalthe tube F, passing within the tube G, and causing the ledge E, of the cap D, to be embraced between the flanches a and 0, of the outer and inner tubes F, and G; then by' drilling holes through both of the -saidtubes and into the axle, and insertinga screwf, within the same, the hub will be securely fastened to the axle.

Toprevent the entrance of dust within the hub, the inner tube F, is fitted snugly to the axle journal, the tubes are fitted closely one within the other, and a recess is formed in the outer end of the band D, for the flanch [0, of the outer tube G, to fit into. The cap 0, is firmly'secured to the outer end of the hub, in any well known or usualmanner.

Having thus fully described my improved manner of confininga hub to its axle journal, what I claim as my invention and desire to secure byLetters Patent, is

The united band D, and tube F, secured to the inner end of the hub, combined with the tube G, and the axle, by means of the single screw f, in such a manner as to securely confine the hub-to theaxle, and also exclude the dust from, and retain the oil within the hub, substantially as'herein set forth. v i
